These are just some of the monuments lauding leaders and soldiers of the Confederate States of America, which was formed in 1861 when 11 states seceded from and then waged war against the United States to defend the institution of slavery. Calls to remove these monuments began in the 1990s and gained momentum after white supremacist Dylann Roof massacred nine African-Americans in 2015.

The issue matters because monuments illustrate to citizens who is privileged in the public sphere. “To literally put the Confederacy on a pedestal in our most prominent places of honor is an inaccurate recitation of our full past, it is an affront to our present, and it is a bad prescription for our future,” New Orleans’s mayor, Mitch Landrieu, said earlier this year, explaining his city’s decision to take down four such statues.

Critics argue that removing these monuments is, at best, a distraction, and, at worst, tampering with history. President Donald Trump opposes these actions, saying it was, “Sad to see the history and culture of our great country being ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments."

To better understand just how many of these monuments and statues are slated for removal, The New York Times has prepared an interactive map that shows how the landscape is changing. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has created a comprehensive guide that details 1,503 monuments, including 718 (now 699) statues and monuments, that still exist on public property; it does not include more than 2,600 historical markers, museums, and other places or symbols that serve to explain — rather than honor — the history of the Confederacy, according to my calculations of SPLC data.

The data compiled by SPLC illuminates exactly whose history has been, and is still being, erased. According to the Smithsonian’s Art Inventory database and my own calculations, the number of U.S. monuments honoring the Confederacy eclipse those U.S. monuments honoring any other cause or group of people in American history. For example, there are seven times as many statues honoring the Confederacy as there are statues lauding America’s Founding Fathers, who get only around 90, per my calculations of SPLC data. Confederate monuments aren’t just in the South — they can be found in at least 31 states throughout the U.S., including in states like Montana.

And they aren’t all relics from the aftermath of the Civil War, either. In North Carolina, for example, 35 monuments have been added since 2000. And a new Confederate statue was recently erected in Alabama.

One Confederate general, Robert E. Lee — whose likeness was slated for removal in Charlottesville, drawing crowds of white nationalist protesters — is seen in six statues on public property in the U.S., according to my calculations of SPLC data.

When added together, the total number of statues honoring two great civil rights leaders, Frederick Douglass and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. — who each boast seven, according to my calculations from searching the Smithsonian’s Art Inventory database — are still less than the nearly 20 statues erected to glorify Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy, according to the SPLC and my calculations.

If monuments typically honor the victorious, puzzlingly, there are twice as many U.S. military installations (10) named after the generals who lost the Civil War as the Union military leaders who won it (five), according to my calculations. The SPLC notes that most were erected well after 1865, likely to reinforce Jim Crow laws or fight back against the cvil rights movement.

For example, in 1964 — almost a hundred years after the Civil War — discrimination against women and minorities was finally outlawed through a piece of landmark legislation. In the next five years, nearly 30 new monuments dedicated to the Confederacy were installed, according to my calculations of SPLC data. Less than ten were dedicated to those who fought for civil rights — and less than 80 exist, compared with the Confederacy’s nearly 1,500, according to my findings.

Public schools even pay homage to the fallen heroes of the South, with 109 named after Confederates, according to the SPLC. One-fourth of these schools have majority African-American student population, meaning children attend schools named after people who fought against the literacy and freedom of black people. According to a search in the National Center for Education Statistics, more schools are named after Robert E. Lee (52) than after President Abraham Lincoln (46), whose Emancipation Proclamation ended slavery in the United States.

In the United States, monuments to the Confederate States of America greatly outnumber those honoring this nations founders, veterans, and activists, according to my calculations of SPLC data. And many have pointed out that these monuments exist in a vacuum, without mention of the victims of the institution the Confederacy defended. As Mayor Mitch Landrieu noted, “There are no slave ship monuments, no prominent markers on public land to remember the lynchings or the slave blocks. … So for those self-appointed defenders of history and the monuments, they are eerily silent on what amounts to this historical malfeasance, a lie by omission.”
